                                    PREFACE


The purpose of this Amendment #1 to FORM 10-Q for the quarterly period ended
September 30, 2001 is to correct a typographical error on the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets included in Part 1.

The September 30, 2001 amount disclosed on the face of the balance sheets for
deferred taxes deducted from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income should have
been $8,443, not $212 as shown in the original filing (amounts in thousands).
The attached replacement balance sheets reflect the correct disclosure. The
correction affects no other information in the financial statements.

As required, the registrant is submitting amended Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets that reflect the correct disclosure, followed by the signature
page.
